Titelbeschreibung

This book newly articulates the international and interdisciplinary reach of Whitehead’s organic process cosmology for a variety of topics across science and philosophy, and in dialogue with a variety historical and contemporary voices. Integrating Whitehead’s thought with the insights of Bergson, James, Pierce, Merleau-Ponty, Descola, Fuchs, Hofmann, Grof and many others, contributors from around the world reveal the relevance of process philosophy to physics, cosmology, astrobiology, ecology, metaphysics, aesthetics, psychedelics, and religion. A global collection, this book expresses multivocal possibilities for the development of process cosmology after Whitehead.

Unpublished endorsement

‘Intuitively process philosophy should have much to say about recent developments in the sciences. The contributors to this important collection explain why the intuition is correct. Process cosmology belongs with the turn to process in the sciences: providing context, explanation, speculative assessment and metaphysical expansion.’ -          James Williams, Deakin University, Australia
